So, I have been in the process of ranking up LegacyOfChiang, and noticed 2 surprising features.

In 15 games, I met 5 separate exploiters that put me Out Of Sync not once, but TWICE in a row. 66% of the games I played yesterday, I received an Out Of Sync. So I ask a question; If exploiting is this easy, why are they still in the 1600s? Why are there no exploiters +2k? Could it be, that it takes skill to rank up, and that even if you exploit your way to the top, you will still lose rank (because you will be playing people a lot better)?

In the lower ranks, it seems that everyone's army is pimped out. In 15 games, 3 players had energy swords, and another player (not one of the 3) had a fully decked out spear. Now, why are these players dressed better than our top 100 players?

:p Just some observations.

Inferiority complex?
For exploiting, I think it's because of the mods that watch exploiters on 2K+ rank. Usually people gets banned for exploiting in TOP 100.
And for pimping out...

Yo dawg......I've heard you like to pimp your units, so I pimp the game so the game can pimp your units pimped up weapons with pimps.
(But I think they just thought it increase damage, or they have spare money, or they just think it's cool.)

Lower rank people might think the equipment their units wear can give them the advantage, so they whip out a credit card and pay a few bucks to pimp out all their units thinking they will get a huge advantage. But it doesn't really make a difference to anyone except the game devs, more money right?

:p Its the n00bs I'm pwning that are funding SE

That's one reason I'm treating them nicer :p

Well Max, I remember once I was battling one of your accounts on grasslands and I had you pinned back to your base with your giant, I went in for the kill and right before it happened something went wrong and the game said I forfeited. Now I would be inclined to believe that I lagged out but since you had basically no units there was not enough animations on screen to lag me out and I had little trouble with lag in the few games I played before that.

Off topic, but...

Are you accusing me of something? Did you have all downloads closed? Were you opening a new tab (to check facebook)? All those contribute to lag.

No Out of Sync page opened. Brock posted a list of exploiters. I was not on that list.

Today, I played you again. You had lagging messages, all the way down to 5 seconds. Don't know if you saw them, but I sure did. That was what was costing you game, seeing as you couldn't take down my walls, and you kept targting my Spearton in Shield Formation with your ninja's Shinobi II (a rookie mistake; take down the wall, then take down my merlic/mages). Maybe get a better computer/suscribe to a better network in the future; If you play ranked on a bad computer/network with high ping, and lag out, don't blame the person you lagged out to.

No. Yes. No. I know. No. I know. I will. Its fine.

:D Glad we all understand each other. See, just minor miscommunication, no hard feelings.

Yes. Yes. Yes. lolz

66% Of your games were out of sync? The whole time I was on stick empires, I only got about 2 or 3 out of sync. And I am a noob (bellow 1800)
